Steven Gerrard: Liverpool’s season depends on Luis Suarez staying

Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard says the team’s success this season will depend on whether Luis Suarez stays or leaves.

Where the Uruguayan striker plays his football this season will have a major impact on the Reds’ fortunes, Gerrard told a press conference ahead of his testimonial match against Olympiacos tomorrow.

He said: “I don’t know what’s happening. I think the only person that knows what’s happening is probably Luis himself.

“I think he’s got a huge decision to make and as his team mate I’ve got to show him respect and give him space to make whatever decision he wants to make.

“But I think everyone in this room and everyone at the club knows what I want Luis Suarez to do. Everyone knows how highly I rate him and how much I want him to stay.
“What we can achieve this season basically depends on whether he stays or goes, I believe.”
